1. Analyse population dynamics and limiting factors of
remnant populations of Addax nasomaculatus |
CMS-SC |
Mauritania IUCN ASG |
2. Manage habitat to increase recruitment rates
and decrease mortality. Establish antipoaching units
with the necessary facilities to implement the legislation. Of particular
importance is the Majabat al Koubra, which may represent one of the three
ultimate important areas for Addax nasomaculatus |

1. Locate favourable areas of relict important habitats
for the conservation of antelopes and gazelles. |
Mauritania |
CMS-SC, IUCN ASG |
2. Conduct education programs to combat, through
collaboration with local communities, overgrazing by domestic stock.
|
Mauritania |
|
3. Secure protection, through collaboration with local
communities, for inadequately protected areas of importance for desert
antelopes. |
Mauritania |
|
4. Establish protected areas in zones of importance for
desert antelopes, in particular in the Mreyye area in the eastern part of
the Majabat al Koubra, for the Addax. |
Mauritania |
|
5. Establish transboundary protected areas where
approriate to cover desert antelope movements. Such a PA extending over
the Majabat al Koubra in Mauritania and its extension in Mali would be
invaluable for the persistence of the Addax |
Mauritania, Mali, Senegal, Algeria, Morocco. |
